Responsibility for Property
1“If a man steals an ox or a sheep, and slaughters it or sells it, he shall #2 Sam. 12:6; Prov. 6:31; Luke 19:8restore five oxen for an ox and four sheep for a sheep. 2If the thief is found #Job 24:16; Matt. 6:19; 24:43; 1 Pet. 4:15breaking in, and he is struck so that he dies, there shall be #Num. 35:27no guilt for his bloodshed. 3If the sun has risen on him, there shall be guilt for his bloodshed. He should make full restitution; if he has nothing, then he shall be #Ex. 21:2; Matt. 18:25sold for his theft. 4If the theft is certainly#Ex. 21:16 found alive in his hand, whether it is an ox or donkey or sheep, he shall #Prov. 6:31restore double.
5“If a man causes a field or vineyard to be grazed, and lets loose his animal, and it feeds in another man’s field, he shall make restitution from the best of his own field and the best of his own vineyard.
6“If fire breaks out and catches in thorns, so that stacked grain, standing grain, or the field is consumed, he who kindled the fire shall surely make restitution.
7“If a man #Lev. 6:1–7delivers to his neighbor money or articles to keep, and it is stolen out of the man’s house, #Ex. 22:4if the thief is found, he shall pay double. 8If the thief is not found, then the master of the house shall be brought to the #Ex. 21:6, 22; 22:28; Deut. 17:8, 9; 19:17judges to see whether he has put his hand into his neighbor’s goods.
9“For any kind of trespass, whether it concerns an ox, a donkey, a sheep, or clothing, or for any kind of lost thing which another claims to be his, the #Deut. 25:1; 2 Chr. 19:10cause of both parties shall come before the judges; and whomever the judges condemn shall pay double to his neighbor. 10If a man delivers to his neighbor a donkey, an ox, a sheep, or any animal to keep, and it dies, is hurt, or driven away, no one seeing it, 11then an #Heb. 6:16oath of the Lord shall be between them both, that he has not put his hand into his neighbor’s goods; and the owner of it shall accept that, and he shall not make it good. 12But #Gen. 31:39if, in fact, it is stolen from him, he shall make restitution to the owner of it. 13If it is #Gen. 31:39torn to pieces by a beast, then he shall bring it as evidence, and he shall not make good what was torn.
14“And if a man borrows anything from his neighbor, and it becomes injured or dies, the owner of it not being with it, he shall surely make it good. 15If its owner was with it, he shall not make it good; if it was hired, it came for its hire.
Moral and Ceremonial Principles
